The trash begins i am way excited to finally be getting closer to being done.
The goal is to have the truck done to make the Redding CA race , to do so the truck has to be running by Wednesday. I think it can be done , the engine is back in the frame rails and done minus the parts at coating , trans is tore down and will be back together tonight minus some parts that wont be here till Monday , coating will be done Monday as well , water pump from Summit will be here Monday or Tuesday, and the tubes for the slicks as well , I already have all the electrical moved and modified as well a good ways into bumper and grill setup , and should have the radiator mounted in the bed tonight also . the pics of the front end are very early and there is still a lot of stuff missing like the sections that were cut off the ends of the grill and marker lamps still need to be mounted .
This year the main goal is to make the engine compartment as easy to wrench on as possible and start preparing the truck to get the 1 piece fiberglass lift off front clip when the $$ is available ,it will look really bare up front until the turbo kit is on and other stuff mounted . many more pics to come in the next 5 days
Bottom end
Dual Cp3 belt routing , uses stock belt !!!!
new configuration of ECM/TCM / Fuse box , it took only an hour or 2 tops .
a few pics of the engine drop in waiting for coated parts to come back .
new grill setup in early stages still need to mount several things up front.
stock mounts welded to be solid mounts .
